Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for testing the beat length of a polarization maintaining optical fiber, which establish a numerical model for the test of the beat length of the polarization maintaining optical fiber according to the spectrum modulation property of a transmission spectrum of a Sagnac interferometer consisting of an optical fiber coupler and a to-be-tested polarization maintaining optical fiber and the extreme point property of the transmission spectrum to test the wavelength difference between the adjacent extreme points of the transmission spectrum obtained by using a spectrum test device to realize the test of the beat length. The method and the device optimize the length parameters of the to-be-tested polarization maintaining optical fiber, establish a mathematical model for acquiring the optimal test length of the optical fiber and precisely test the beat length of the optical fiber at the optimal test length. The method for testing the beat length of the polarization maintaining optical fiber of the invention is simple in theory and achieves a precision of 0.01 millimeter of the beat length test performed at the optimal test length. The test device adopts a full optical fiber structure, and is low in cost, high in adaptability, strong in interference resisting capability and free from limitation on the beat length of the to-be-test optical fiber. The test method and the test device are suitable for the tests of beat lengths in various ranges of the polarization maintaining optical fibers. The device is simple in structure and convenient in operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a polarization-maintaining optical fiber testing method and testing device, more particularly to a polarization-maintaining optical fiber beat length testing method and testing device based on a Sagnac interferometer, belonging to the field of polarization-maintaining optical fiber testing and optical fiber sensing. Background technique [0002] Polarization-maintaining fiber has been widely used in the field of optical fiber sensing technology and optical fiber communication because of its strong polarization-maintaining ability for linearly polarized light and excellent compatibility with general single-mode optical fiber. The polarization-maintaining ability of polarization-maintaining fiber is obtained by generating a strong birefringence in the fiber. Birefringence is the basic characteristic of polarization-maintaining fiber, and it needs to be accurately measured and controlled during the development, production and appli...
